One of the commonalities between these two poets is diligence in and attention to nature and naturalism in their poems. Each has utilized nature according to their living environment, and social and political conditions. The four elements of nature (water, wind, fire, and Earth) hold a special place in the eyes of Iranians and other nations and these elements are frequently used in the poems of these two poets. This article has attempted to briefly introduce Fyodor Tyutchev, the eminent Russian poet, to the literary and cultural society of Iran and draw a comparison of the two elements of water and fire in these two poets’ approaches. This article compares the two elements of water and fire in the selected poems of the two poets with a descriptive-analytical method. The results indicate that the use of these two elements in the poems of Sepehr and Tyuchev have a lot in common.
